About this listen

Can’t find her.

Can’t catch him.

Can’t trust anyone.

The first in a gripping new Sheffield-set crime series starring Detective Claudia Nunn.

Detective Claudia Nunn’s colleague DS Dominic Harrison has been leading the case against a dangerous serial killer, who hunts his victims using a dating app. But now his own wife has gone missing.

Then a large pool of blood is discovered in their garage. And Dominic is the prime suspect.

Is Dominic being framed by a serial killer or will Claudia expose an even uglier truth?

Can’t tell a soul how it ends.

Blood Stained is a dark, twisty and utterly compulsive page-turner that will be devoured by fans of Helen H. Durrant, Rachel Abbott, Angela Marsons and L.J. Ross.

Critic reviews

"An original take on the classic police procedural, I found it pacy, dark and compelling, and was hooked from the first page to the last." (Jane Isaac)

A murder story with a twist. Enjoyable, for the most part, however some chapters became repetitive with the thoughts and actions of the main characters being repeated over and over again.
Without wishing to spoil the plot, the central tactic of the police interview would simply not have happened under any circumstances.
Having walked my dogs through one the woods mentioned, gave it a frisson of tension and realism.

Sheffield Steel.

This book could have been finished in five or six hours. It was repetitive in parts and seemed to go nowhere. Also not a fan of the narrators. Story kept you interested to a point and there was a twist in the tale. Overall a solid 3 from me. There are lots better.

Long winded and repetitive.

Procedurally questionable, the police wouldn’t allow you to interview your own father, and I strongly doubt they’d be able to set up a new unit that easily or quickly. That said it was a good storyline, even if I did guess the ending & the culprit

Overall a good listen

The writing style was really quite irritating and ultimately the story was quite annoying and implausible.

Really quite annoying
